Topic: lg steam washer no water (Read 13972 times)

lg WM2487HRM steam washer not getting any water, of course i checked the hoses first, then i checked the inlet valves all fine there, so i turned the machine on and load sensor works but when it should start filling the recirc pump grinds and nothing elese. so then i checked the filter after not sucessfully getting it to drain would only spin but not drain from the hose next to the filter. so i checked the filter nothing in it except some soap goo. put it back in and tried again and on sanitize it worked but no other cycle. so then i checked the pump itself nothing in it. so im thinking replace the recirc pump. what do you think?

No water enters the washer during the fill cycle?

This usually triggers an "IE" error.

Check the water fill hoses--make sure that the hoses are not aftermarket FLOODCHECK/FLOODSAFE hoses. If so--remove those hoses and install either the OEM hoses or standard rubber hoses.FLOODCHECK/SAFE hoses often malfunction and are not worth it.

Is the DRAIN MOTOR or RECIRCULATION MOTOR actually "grinding" or humming?

i did actually take that motor out to check it, found nothing in it. the customer did say she got an error but didnt remember what it was cuz she didnt realize it was an error code, but anyway like i said when you hit the start button it will do the load sensing then it just grinds from the recirc pump.and thats it. the only time i got any water to enter was after i checked the filter in between the pumps and it was only on sanitize cycle.and nothing after.
